How to Buy
Prints

All our prints are made to order, and produced to the highest possible standard, using fade-resistant archival inks on top of the range Epson printers. Our photographers inspect each print before we send them out to you. We offer three types of prints – laser, giclée (fine art) and rolled canvas – at the sizes listed below. Please note, we do not sell framed prints. All prints will be sent out in protective packaging within 28 days.


Laser prints are printed on a matt finish paper. They are of a high quality, but if you intend to frame your print as a lasting memento, we would suggest you choose one of the other options for a reproduction that is closest to the original.


Giclée (fine art) prints are printed on a thicker and higher quality paper. The type of inks (giclée) gives a more vibrant finish to the print.


Canvas prints are posted to you rolled, so you will need to have them stretched before you frame them.


Do bear in mind that our objects and paintings are of different shapes and sizes, and we don’t crop or stretch an image to make it fit the size of paper. This means that there may be a border round the image - do feel free to contact us for more information. The usual white space round canvas prints is 75mm.


When you have chosen your image, put it in your basket and select 'Buy now'. Then follow the menu of options, and sizes available and prices will appear automatically. (Please note, not all print sizes are available for all images.) We accept payment by Worldpay, but if you would like to pay by BACS or be invoiced, please contact us.

Downloading your image

Images are supplied at 300dpi, suitable for publication and commercial reproduction, or 72dpi, suitable for website, research or Powerpoint presentation purposes. Please note that our automatic payment and download facilities are currently disabled due to technical difficulties, but if you phone or email us, we will email you a link to download your images as a zip file once your payment has been received.


Licensing
Most of our collection is available to license commercially. We are continually adding to our online catalogue, so please do contact us if you don’t see what you want.


You can download images upon payment, or we can send them to you on CD. We supply images as 300dpi A4 TIFFs as standard, unless you have selected website usage, when they will be supplied at 72dpi JPEGs. A3 JPEGS and TIFFs are also available upon request.

We may also be able to provide new photography, should you have a special request, but please allow at least 6 weeks’ notice, as our photographers and technicians work across all our collections, exhibitions and buildings.
